“You do you” culture: How far is too far?

Ep. 425
•

Is peer pressure more powerful than personal conviction? Has social media normalised drug use more than we realise? Why is it so hard to call out harmful behaviour among friends?


In today’s podcast, we explore the concept of “uninfluencing” - a bold new strategy that empowers individuals to think critically rather than follow the crowd. Our panel discusses how liberal drug cultures, online feedback loops, and social discomfort can cloud judgment, and why reinforcing personal agency might be the key to keeping young people safe. Plus, we share real stories of missed interventions, and offer a practical framework (according to ChatGPT) to help you speak up when it matters most.
